> we recommend keeping task-specific instructions in separate markdown files with self-descriptive names somewhere in your project.

Should do this for human developers too. Can't count the number of times I've been thrown onto a project and had to spend a significant amount of time opening and skimming files just to answer simple questions that should be answered in high-level docs like this.



There's a funny joke I heard that they made Claude Code only to force developers to write better documentation.

But in all seriousness, it's working. I write cursor rules religiously and I point other devs to them. Its great.


Yeah I do love how many "best practices" we are only implementing because of LLMs, even though they were massively beneficial for humans prior as well.
